roll reversal...this morning there was much on my platemanaged to achieve a number of the goals of the morningperhaps I spaced on a few others.. ie. Brutus' ear medicine

the boys were dressed and fed by my over achieving wifeby her summons I stumbled into the kitchen towards the coffee potgrabbed the largest cup in the cupboard and filled it to the brimcoached the boys as they finished up their Cheerios and strawberrieswe all put on our shoes and went across the street with the dogseveryone wanted to walk deeper into the woodsthat was not an optionthere were a few pauses on the way back to inspect some unique mushrooms

we marched back up the pathreturned the dogs to the housethen we all climbed into the Honda ElementGrant's babysitter could not work today so I dropped the little man off at a neighborhood day careinterestingly enough.... our dog walker's mother runs a day care from her houseguess their family likes caring for other people's loved onesboth the furry and the fleshy

the drop off went moderately smooththe dog of the house, Duke, barked at us which muffled Grant's cryingthe crying is to be expectedI tried to explain to Dean why Grant was crying as we drove through the National Zoo to get Dean to schoolas I drove I got to monitor the city activity from the perspective of a car driveras I drove I tried to fight the driving impluses that make the streets so unbearableafter a few minutes at Dean's school it was off to workrather than driving home and walking the 40 minutes to work I went ahead and drove into workthe traffic was maddening... how do people do this everyday?

found a pay lot with a daily feecringed each time my roof rack collided with the drooping overhead pipes

walking from the car to the office I felt tightly woundmore tightly wound then I already amclearly the bike ride or the long walk is a more healthy approach to workhealthy for both mind and for body

had an MRI for my shoulderwill meet with the doctor later this week to find out my next step towards recoveryonce recoveredback on the bike

sitting is a car can be nothing but frustrationthe radio sucksthe car drivers around me suckcars suck!well, I love my carthe car is great for when I need itbutI do not need the car to get me to workthere are far more pleasing options
